There are few running backs in the NFL that can transcend an offense like Bijan Robinson has for the Atlanta Falcons, but Christian McCaffrey is one of them. While the 23-year-old is on pace to become the fourth back to ever surpass both 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season, McCaffrey was the last player to do so back in 2019.
When the Dirty Birds travel to Santa Clara to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football this weekend, two of the best running backs in football will square off. Ahead of the matchup, Falcons' defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich likened McCaffrey's dual-threat ability to Robinson's.
